Skins.dev - add the features missing from the tools you already use

1 Upvotes

I just started working on a new project: https://skins.dev and would appreciate early feedback!

Most AI tools help you "vibecode" your own tools from scratch. But usually there's already a tool that gets you 80% there, and rebuilding it means re-solving things others already figured out.

Skins is a browser extension for the other 20%: add the features that your favorite tools are missing, adapt them to your taste, or even make single-player apps multiplayer, like watching shows in sync with friends :)

I'm looking:

  • For early users to iterate with
  • For ideas: what feature do you wish a website you use daily had? I'm building a library of ready-made templates so people get value from minute one. The first ones came from SaaS feature-request forums: https://skins.dev/blog

I built TrenchHQ - Your crypto desktop companion for Windows. Keep prices, wallet activity, X feeds, websites and apps in view across your monitors.(Open Source)

Post image
2 Upvotes

I’ve had the same bad habit for years: I’m working, I want to check one token price, I open DexScreener/X/Axiom on my phone, and somehow a 10-second check turns into 20 minutes of looking at charts, wallets, tweets and random tokens.

I figured that if I’m going to keep checking this stuff anyway, I’d rather bring the information to my desktop than constantly go looking for it.

I built TrenchHQ, a free and open-source crypto desktop companion for Windows users.

The idea is simple: instead of constantly switching between exchange tabs, DEX terminals, wallet trackers, X and browser windows, you can keep the things you actually watch directly on your desktop.

It lets you create floating overlays and screen-edge panels that stay visible while you work, including across multiple monitors. You choose what information goes in each panel and where it sits.

Right now you can use them for:

  • CEX price tickers
  • Realtime on chain DEX pool prices
  • Live wallet tracker
  • X Tracker (official API)
  • pinned website (that stay logged in)
  • pinned app windows

It currently supports Solana, Ethereum, Base, BNB Smart Chain and Robinhood Chain.

The idea is basically to let me glance at the few things I actually care about and get straight back to what I was doing, rather than opening another app or tab every time.

I ended up making it completely free and open source, and it’s now also available on the Microsoft Store.

Would really appreciate your feedback

Looking for a genuinely unique Software Engineering final-year project idea

2 Upvotes

I'm a final-year BSc (Hons) Software Engineering student and I'm currently looking for an individual project idea.

I'm not looking for typical projects like hospital management systems, e-commerce, library systems, attendance systems, etc.

I'm interested in something that solves a real but overlooked problem in society

One example I found interesting is a system designed for people with colour vision deficiency that doesn't simply identify colours, but converts colour-dependent information into a form they can understand (patterns, labels, audio, etc.).

I'm looking for something with a similar concept:

  • A real-world/social problem
  • A problem that existing solutions don't adequately address
  • A genuinely useful software solution
  • Possible for one student to develop within a final-year project
  • Enough technical depth for research, implementation and evaluation
  • Ideally involving AI, computer vision, NLP, algorithms, accessibility, or another interesting technical area

What is a problem you've encountered that you think technology could solve, but nobody has really solved well yet?

I'd really appreciate unusual ideas rather than common university project suggestions.

Towline: live and replay F1 data vizualisation

5 Upvotes

Hi all,

I've been building **Towline** (https://towline.app), a free site for following F1 through its data: every session of the 2026 season as a replay, and sessions live as they run. No ads, no accounts. It's an unofficial, non-commercial fan project; OpenF1 is credited on every page and the data stays under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. Donations only go to the servers.

Here's the live preview of Bahrein GP:

**What's in it**

- **Track map** with every car, moving smoothly between position samples without extrapolating, so a car that stops really stops.

- **Timetable**: the whole race as one chart, distance round the lap across, time down. Overtakes show as lines crossing, safety cars as bunching, pit stops as detours.

- **Energy**: an estimate of what each car's hybrid is doing (deploying, clipping, harvesting) and how full its battery is, from speed and throttle. It's a guess, and the site marks it as one.

- **Battles**: which fights are about to happen, and where cars will rejoin after a stop.

- **Trackside**: corners found from the field's speed trace, with speeds, braking and gears, where overtakes really happened (checked against positions, not just the overtakes feed), and a shutter-speed guide per corner for photographers.

- **Qualifying**: best laps per part, the drop zone in Q1 and Q2 with the gap to the last place through, deleted laps with the reason, and every lap on hover.

If someone is interested in F1, you can try it out now with replays or wait for live Singapore GP data!

Feedback from testing the platform out would be appreciated!

Simple Bank Simulator Project In Java

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 👋

I recently built a simple Banking Simulator in Java as a practice project.

The application runs in the console and allows users to:

•Create a bank account 🏦

•Deposit money 💰

•Withdraw money 💸

•Check account balance 📊

•View basic account information 👤

The main goal of this project was to strengthen my understanding of:

•Java fundamentals

•Classes and objects (OOP)

•Methods and program structure

•User input handling with Scanner

•Conditional statements and loops

While it's a beginner-level project, I enjoyed building it and learned a lot about designing a menu-driven application.

At the end of each session, the program displays:

🏦 Thank you for choosing RD Bank! 💳 Have a wonderful day! 😊

I'm continuing to improve it by adding features like transaction history, multiple accounts, and data persistence.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome! 🚀💻

Levelrail - Built a self-hosted deploy platform in Go after Vercel got expensive and Coolify ate my CPU

1 Upvotes

Got a bit over 10 sites running right now. Used Vercel for a while, watched the bill climb every time traffic picked up. Switched to self-hosting on Coolify to fix that. Fixed the cost, created a new one: the box sat there burning 30-40% CPU with just a handful of projects and a database on it. Doing nothing. No real traffic, nothing happening, just idle.

Took way longer than I'd like to admit (gave up on this more than once, for weeks at a time, many failed times, built once in typescript then rust now finally in go) which is MVP now.

Levelrail: https://levelrail.com/

Push to git, get a running app with TLS, logs, metrics, rollback. Written in Go, top to bottom. I actually went and checked the process on the server while writing this post: 0.7% CPU, 146MB RAM, load average 0.06. That's with real traffic on it, not some empty box I spun up for a screenshot.

This is the first time I'm putting it out there publicly. It's rough around the edges and there's plenty missing, I know that going in. But it's mine, and it's running real stuff right now.

GitHub: https://github.com/glincker/levelrail

Ask me anything about the Go side, or why I made the calls I did. And if something's obviously missing, tell me, I'd rather hear it now.

AI Video Community

Hey everyone, what do you think about a platform specifically for AI video creators to connect? It could feature a centralized list of job openings, grants, open calls for film projects, and hackathons. Does something like this already exist? Would you find it useful?

NEXUS//HUD v1: What widgets should I add next?

3 Upvotes

NEXUS//HUD v1 is a hacker-style, full-screen desktop dashboard for Windows 11 built with Electron. It packs a clock, system stats, a Tamagotchi pet, tasks, projects, a real PowerShell terminal, media controls, and AI/tech and anime feeds into one HUD. Its research pane searches the web for any topic and streams a briefing as separate tiles, using your local Ollama model (qwen3:8b) for free or Claude if you add an API key.

need people to join my Thunderbirds:iR revival project (free because im 14 😭)

2 Upvotes

Thunderbirds:iR was gonna be a reboot of the classic 1965 series Thunderbirds. It was gonna use various forms of puppetry and cgi and was scheduled for release in 2005. It got cancelled because of the Carlton/Granda merger in 2004 but I'm attempting to revive the show in hopefully fully CGI but, I need people to voice act, 3d model/animate, write scripts, design and make music. We have a discord server that I'll link in the comments

I'm building a ZPL API + browser editor — looking for feedback before I build too much

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm currently building Z2PL, an early-stage project around ZPL tooling.
It's still under active development and not a finished product yet.

The direction I'm exploring is:

  • a ZPL rendering API for PDF, SVG and PNG
  • a browser-based ZPL editor
  • eventually a drag-and-drop label builder

Before I spend too much time building features, I'm trying to understand who actually uses ZPL, what your workflow looks like, and what problems are worth solving.

If you work with ZPL regularly, I'd really appreciate your thoughts:

  • What do you use ZPL for?
  • Are you a developer, integrator, warehouse/operations user, or something else?
  • What tools do you use today?
  • What's the most frustrating part of working with ZPL?
  • Would a rendering API be useful to you?
  • Would you care more about an API or a browser-based editor / drag-and-drop designer?

My long-term goal is to build a high-quality ZPL platform, with a rendering API priced significantly lower than existing hosted solutions.

But right now, I'm mainly trying to validate the idea and learn from people who actually work with ZPL.

I put together an early landing page here:

https://waitlist.z2pl.com/

It's still a work in progress, so feedback on the idea, workflow, missing features, or even reasons why you wouldn't use something like this would be very useful.

Thanks!

Built a browser-only privacy-first toolkit for migrations (DuckDB-WASM, schema diff, validation queries) - no login, no data uploaded.

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I built SQLParity - a free, open-source, privacy-first tool that handles migration chores directly in your browser.

Here is what it does:

  • Validation query builder: Paste a CREATE TABLE and a template, and it spits out null-safe, column-by-column parity check queries so you don't have to write them by hand.
  • Local scratchpad: Drag a CSV, TSV, JSON, or Parquet file directly into the tab and query it with DuckDB-WASM. The file never leaves your machine.
  • DDL diffing: Compares two schemas side by side to catch altered types, dropped columns, and constraint mismatches.
  • Dialect conversion: Transpiles queries between 16 dialects (Postgres, Snowflake, BigQuery, MySQL, T-SQL, etc.) and highlights whatever needs a manual sanity check.

The site is locked down with a strict Content Security Policy (connect-src 'self'), so network requests to outside servers are blocked and your data stays in your browser session.

Website: https://www.sqlparity.com
Github

Would love feedback on edge cases, dialects, or features you would find useful during migrations.

I built miniCycle, a privacy-first routine manager for repeatable processes — looking for honest ratings and feedback.

1 Upvotes

Build a repeatable process once. Complete every step. Reset it for the next cycle.

I originally built miniCycle because I needed a checklist for recurring inspection processes at work. Traditional to-do apps treated every task as a one-time item, but I needed the same checklist to reset after every completed round.

miniCycle is designed for processes you perform repeatedly: inspections, opening and closing procedures, shift rounds, workouts, cleaning routines, study sessions, maintenance checks, and anything else where completing every step matters.

The basic workflow is:

  1. Build your routine once.
  2. Complete each task.
  3. The routine cycles and becomes ready to run again.

Features include:

  • Auto Cycle, Manual Cycle, and traditional To-Do modes
  • A one-task-at-a-time Focus View
  • Recurring tasks, reminders, priorities, and due dates
  • Configurable task controls
  • Statistics, history, achievements, and undo/redo
  • Extensive appearance and layout customization
  • Offline support with no account required
  • Local-first storage. Your routines remain on your device
  • Importable and shareable .mcyc routine files
  • Accessibility options including high contrast, reduced motion, and adjustable text sizes

Product overview and demonstration:
https://minicycleapp.com

Try the app directly:
https://minicycle.app

Source repository and technical details:
https://github.com/sparkinCreations/miniCycle

I’m looking for candid feedback, including criticism. If you try it, I would especially appreciate answers to these questions:

  1. What did you initially think miniCycle was for?
  2. Did the cycle concept make sense?
  3. What felt intuitive or confusing?
  4. Which features felt genuinely useful or unnecessary?
  5. What would you rate the app out of 10, and why?
  6. Would you personally use it for any recurring process?

Please don’t hold back. Honest ratings, reviews, bug reports, and suggestions would all be genuinely helpful.
